WWE Tough Enough, Episode 7: "Running With Wolves"

What's going to happen this week on Tough Enough? It's another episode of WWE Tough Enough in 2011! Last week, Ivelisse was eliminated due to the fact that she has struggled in challenges, especially since her leg was injured the week prior. Not only that, Eric was eliminated because he, too, has struggled in the challenges and always came in LAST. There are SIX competitors left. Will anybody else get injured? Who will be Tough Enough to make it to the end? Tune in to find out! As always you can join us in the AngryMarks chat to discuss the show!

Previously on Tough Enough... Ivelisse gets injured, Eric struggles drastically on a rope course, Christina gets better, Luke wins a Skills Challenge, and both Ivelisse and Eric get eliminated. After that, AJ returns to the house and he says he doesn't feel redeemed being in the bottom. The rest of the crew see AJ and await another to return, but they are surprised when he tells them that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin took two belts. He realizes he needs to step it up so the trainers notice him and keep him around. Cue the opening credits~!

Trish Stratus is teaching Christina some yoga and asks her if she's nervous. She says the thing that scares her is lasting this long and being the only girl left; she starts crying when telling Trish this. Trish is pulling for her to last to the end because she thinks she can do it. (We'll see.)

It's time for daily training. AJ says he feels like he has something to prove. Bill DeMott mocks Martin boots in jest, then tells Christina that he's proud of her. In the ring they train until Stone Cold steps in. Today's lesson is about Creativity. He tells them to change up some moves and be creative while executing moves, also add some flair. AJ works at it and Booker T wants him to stop being timid. Christina is training with Martin and she gets better at it. DeMott: "We lost Jeremiah and we have the MMA kid right here." Jeremiah is losing his focus and going back to his MMA roots. They tell him to keep it cool or he'll hurt someone. Coming up, the WWE Divas visit and "slap some taste" into these kids!

Back to the show and they learn to throw others over the top rope. Stone Cold isn't impressed by anybody and he wants to see some creativity. People start to flater and Booker shows 'em how it's done! They continue to yell at AJ. Andy ends up hitting Luke in the face, then he throws him over the top rope and Luke damn near lands on his face! He gets a busted/bloody nose from it. Bill yelled at Andy for it and he's visibly upset with himself. The trainers tell the kids that they are disappointed.

Back home, Andy watches a video of his baby daughter crawling sent by his wife. He calls her after and she tells him that she's tired. Andy realizes that she is struggling taking care of their child alone, and he says he wants a better life for them so that is why he is doing this show/competiton. Trish has a surprise for the kids, and that surprise is the WWE Divas! The Bella Twins, Kelly Kelly, and Eve Torres all show up to the house! The guys are flustered and quickly run back and change. Christina gets dressed up as well and they all drink champagne.

They head into a limo and go to eat at a restaurant. Jeremiah tallied up drinks for everyone and Andy of course doesn't get one. He tells the Divas that he made a commitment to his wife and daughter that he wouldn't drink during the competition. Eve speaks to each of the competitors to get to know them. Christina talks to Kelly about the business, and Kelly says she is a great girl who could learn a lot. Christina gets her confidence built up after talking to her. AJ tells one of the Bellas that he has been slacking lately, and she gives great advice that he needs to develop a persona, otherwise the crowd won't notice him. The Bellas slap Jeremiah and Luke, and they end up slapping each other laughing about it. Everybody says they are the newest tag team called "The Bromance." Coming up, they watch wrestling videos.

Stone Cold takes them to the THQ studios. Stone Cold talks talking about when he was the Ringmaster he wasn't getting a reaction. So he got crerative and change himself to be Stone Cold Steve Austin. The crew go to the offices and get their own CAWs on the game WWE All Stars. Jeremiah calls his wreslter The Natural, and he takes on Christina's character Mikayla. AJ's character is Jaxon Crash, and Luke's character is called The Future Legend. Stone Cold tells Luke that the character looks just like him. Austin asks AJ how he came up with his CAW and he says he pictured a rocker. Martin's character is called BetterThanU, and he takes on Solid Rage played by Andy. They laugh at the game theatrics and Austin asks them about their characters. Austin asks the THQ employee Brian who he thinks was best, and he says Luke's was the best because he was a souped up version of him. Coming up, the competitors train some more in the ring and SOMEONE ELSE GETS INJURED! Commercial break.

They get back to the training facility for... yup, you guessed it - more training! Andy and Luke shine and they get better at the flair in their moves. AJ makes a pin cover the wrong way and they tell him to sit down. They explain to him that he is being too timid and not putting any effort into it. They tell Andy to kick out with force being the big guy. Suddenly, Martin gets hurt and says it's his ankle. Apparently he popped it while turning to leave the ring. He can barely stand on it and cannot put any pressure on it. The medic tells him to not stress it and get an X-ray. Martin gets upset and wants to get back in the ring; he hopes it's a sprain. Booker checks on him and then Martin heads to the hospital for an X-ray. My early predictions for bottom three would be Jeremiah, Andy and AJ with the latter going home. We'll find out after this next commercial break!

When we come back from break and we learn Martin hasn't come back yet. Luke shows humility and wishes him well, but it won't stop him from doing his best. They suggest his body was breaking down at this point. They're all exercising while Martin shows up on crutches... AND his Tough Enough belt. Luke says he actually felt bad for him. Martin tells the trainers that his foot is FRACTURED and the doctors suggest HE SHOULD NOT CONTINUE.

Martin and Austin talk in his office and Stone Cold tells him about when he broke his neck over a decade ago. He directs Martin's attention to the wall of the fallen. He says he hung the belts up because those people weren't tough enough. He's not taking Martin's belt; instead he's going to let Martin hang it himself because he believe Martin IS tough enough. Martin heads over to the wall and hangs his belt up saddened each step he takes. He hugs the trainers and tells everybody that he will reset and get back to 100%. They give him a standing ovation as he leaves the trainng facility. Breaktime.

Back to the show and Austin says injuries happen and it's a shame Martin had to leave because of it. It's time for the Skills Challenge! They must work within a 2 minute time limit and do what they've learned, and they must do at least one move from the top rope. Bill DeMott takes Christina aside and gives her a pep talk to build her confidence. She actually steps her game up and outshines AJ! She climbs up the top rope and comes down with a double axe handle - AND NOW CHRISTINA HURTS HER ANKLE!! Booker and Bill thought she was going for a rossbody. AJ is upset as Christina is crying in the ring. Luke isn't happy she's hurt, but he's cool with someone else out of the competiton. Stone Cold tells them no elimination tonight because it seems like Christina is out of it.

Coming up next week, the Stone Cold's greatest foe makes a visit. THE ROCK stops by to show these kids a thing or two~! Now onto Monday Night Raw in San Antonio, Texas!
